The Life-Cycle of Operons [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 Operons are a major feature of all prokaryotic genomes, but how and why operon structures vary is not well understood. To elucidate the life-cycle of operons, we compared gene order between Escherichia coli K12 and its relatives and identified the ...

Data Mining of Groundwater Genomes for Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) Containing Monooxygenase Operons Associated with Contaminant Biodegradation [PDF]
BiologyThis study examined freely available whole genome sequencing (WGS) data for genes associated with contaminant biodegradation. Thirteen WGS datasets (>600 individual samples) involving more than 12,000 Gbases from multiple countries were examined.

eLife, 2021 Prokaryotes utilize polycistronic messages (operons) to co-translate proteins involved in the same biological processes. Whether eukaryotes achieve similar regulation by selectively assembling and translating monocistronic messages derived from different

Reporter Gene-Based qRT-PCR Assay for Rho-Dependent Termination In Vivo
Cells, 2023 In bacteria, the Rho protein mediates Rho-dependent termination (RDT) by identifying a non-specific cytosine-rich Rho utilization site on the newly synthesized RNA. As a result of RDT, downstream RNA transcription is reduced.

Stoichiometry of the Gene Products From the Tetrachloroethene Reductive Dehalogenase Operon pceABCT
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process that uses halogenated compounds, e.g., tetrachloroethene (PCE), as terminal electron acceptors.

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009 Operons (clusters of co-regulated genes with related functions) are common features of bacterial genomes. More recently, functional gene clustering has been reported in eukaryotes, from yeasts to filamentous fungi, plants, and animals. Gene clusters can consist of paralogous genes that have most likely arisen by gene duplication. However, there are now

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 The biosynthetic genes for secondary metabolites are often clustered into giant operons with no transcription terminator before the end. The long transcripts are frangible and the transcription efficiency declines along with the process.
